I am a Professor in the Law School at the University of Melbourne, where I hold the Chair of Intellectual Property.

In the academic year 2018/19, I am a Herbert Smith Freehills Visitor in the Faculty of Law at the University of Cambridge, and the Derek Brewer Visiting Fellow at Emmanuel College, Cambridge (Michaelmas Term).

I teach various IP subjects – including copyright law, patent law and cyberlaw – and I undertake IP law research. From this site you can access my cyberlaw news, and my recent research publications.

I also do arbitration and mediation of IP disputes, advise on domain name disputes, and conduct commissioned research for governments and international organisations.

Feel free to contact me to explore engaging my services.
